Re: Effective range of .22 rifle

Back in the days when Cable TV was a new thing, when I was in 4-H, our silhouette postal league shoots had those ram targets at 109 yards, and we'd make 'em dance. There was plenty of power behind those little lead slugs! If you've ever done any silhouette shooting, you know how heavy those targets are, too.

My dad would also take my match rifle in the deer stand and he'd head shoot turkeys out to 100 yards with it. There aren't enough people out there who respect the lowly .22 and what it can do.

So many people have been told for so long that it's 'just' a beginner round, and they just don't understand the true lethality of it.
